Description

As the default SQL export causes issues in Windows due to different line endings, an easy option for a database export would be appreciated.

Update
An additional export option (dump) was added which is using the -Fc parameters of the pg_dump command.

Good idea. I see 3 different option to implement it in the UI:

  • Check which OS the user uses and export for this OS (worst option)
  • Make two export buttons (posix and win)
  • Include both versions in 7z file

OR we go away from plain text export to custom -Fc which can be restored with pg_restore.

Going away from plain text might be a good idea but also sounds quite time consuming so I'm not sure if that's the way to go at this moment.

Personally I like the idea of two buttons so that users can choose what they get.

Thanks for adding the new export function. I took the liberty to rename some params/filenames to reflect the file type but works great otherwise.
